I'm not a PostgreSQL expert, I only know Microsoft SQL. I have a customer with postgresql database... 1. Windows OS Crashed *do not know the state of postgresql when this occurred* 2. Pulled data folder from from postgresql 8.2 folder 3. OS was reinstalled & post 8.2 How do I reinsert the Data folder & get the service up & running? Microsoft SQL, I would usually put the bad DB in Emergency Mode & then export it into a blank DB. Is there a similar fix for Post???
